Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Ahimaaz was in Naphtali,.... Out of that tribe he made a monthly provision annually:
he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife; another daughter of Solomon's, in course of time; See Gill on 1-Kings 4:11.

Ahimaaz, possibly Zadok's son (2-Samuel 15:27; 2-Samuel 17:17.), in Naphtali. This does not denote generally "the most northern portion of the land, say from the northern end of the lake of Gennesaret into Coele-Syria," as Thenius supposes; for the tribe-territory of Asher, which had a prefect of its own, was not situated to the south-west of Naphtali, but ran along the west of Naphtali to the northern boundary of Canaan (see at Joshua 19:24-31). He also (like Ben-Abinadab, 1-Kings 4:11) had a daughter of Solomon, Basmath, as his wife.
